Aww! Does Rohn Buser not run the Iditarod anymore? Admitantly, I got hooked on this when I watched Discovery's show on it just a few weeks ago, hehe.

I'm surprised Lance and Martin were so far down!

Rohn Buser did not race this year, instead electing to add his best dogs to his dad's best dogs for 1 Buser team. Martin Buser lead a good majority of the race, but obviously that did not pay off in the end. Lance was having problems in Yukon, ultimately scratching...so I was even surprised he decided to try still for Iditarod. Finishing with only 9 of his 16 starters-

I wish they would do that show on Discovery every year. I loved it.
